Common Data Sets

The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a
collaborative effort among higher education data providers to
improve the quality and accuracy of information provided across
institutions through the development of clear, standard data items
and definitions. Data definitions, answers to frequently asked
questions, links to related information and contextual background
are provided.

Within these data sets, questions labeled CDS-# are drawn
directly from the Common Data Set information form. Those labeled
UB-# supplement the compendium with information on other commonly
requested questions of like nature.
